carts, the frames of which were made
of bamboo and the wheels similar to
those of velOcipede, weighing. all the
gear included, thirty-seven pounds,
were brought forth, and four very large
OStrichS, trained to the business and
harneSSed abreast, were attached to
each one. The race course was q flat
piece of country about four miles in
length. The distance to be travelled was
four miles straight away and return.
Two of the smallest specimens of Afri-
can humanity ever seen, less than four
feet in height and weighing about sew

pure and simple, were selected as char
iOteers, and all was ready. l had been
